Medical Malpractice & Birth Injuries

Illinois Medical Malpractice Lawyers

Medical doctors and other health care providers are liable for injuries
that they cause due to their negligence just like other people are. However,
it is often difficult to prove that they were negligent, because the state
of the art requires a high degree of education and training. It takes
a person with similar education and training to determine whether the
medical professional has failed to live up to the standard of care expected
of them. Such cases can become very complicated.

Illinois personal injury attorneys for victims of medical malpractice
must know or learn about the illness and treatment, or neglect, that gave
rise to the injury.

Birth Injuries

Many babies are born with defects or deformities. Some of these are the
result of unnecessary or incompetent medical procedures. Likewise, mothers
can suffer injuries due to negligent prenatal care or labor and delivery
procedures.

In either event, the law is the same as for any other medical malpractice
case. A doctor or other healthcare provider can be held liable for birth
injuries only if it can be shown that they failed to live up to the professional
standard of care expected of them. Proving such cases requires diligent
and experienced Illinois birth injury attorneys.
